After being choked to death by a copper coin, she became a demon Jin Ji in the other world

To have grown into such a cute appearance now, it is all thanks to my careful feeding. The matter of the fairy came to an end for the time being, and Shen Yuelan's attention returned to intelligence.

In fact, it was just as Gan Yuelong said. Shen Yuelan was busy all morning but didn't hear anything. It wasn't about who was getting married and how much gift money to give, or about which woman had cheated again and was caught in bed by her in-laws. It was of no use at all.

Shen Yuelan flipped through the information collected by various groups and suddenly felt that she should buy two bags of melon seeds and open a bottle of champagne to eat as a snack. The things in them were really interesting.

Shen Yuelan almost forgot the purpose of her coming here. The power of gossip is really amazing. If it weren't for her strong will, she would have been drowned in it long ago.

Seeing that Shen Yuelan was reading attentively, Gan Yuelong thought that she had really discovered some important information. After finishing the things at hand, she came over to take a look. But when she saw the contents, she was so amused that she didn't know whether to laugh or cry.

[You read it so seriously, but it turns out to be a bunch of gossip? You are really careless! ]

[Oh, that's not right. I did get some useful information, such as this intelligence. This customs official of the Silver Federation had an affair with his sister-in-law. We have pictures and the truth. We can use this to threaten him.]

[Alas, what is the difference between your thing and our existing Records of Officials' Actions? Why bother to go far away? ]

[Well, I don't plan to do anything big, so I don't need such high-level black material. These small things are enough for me. ]

[But you've made a small matter, which won't hurt the other person, and won't achieve the effect of revenge, so it's meaningless. ]

Shen Yuelan was very angry with Gan Yuelong. Even if what she said was right, she couldn't just sit there and do nothing. She had to do something so that she could give an explanation to Lingji one day.

[Tsk, you are young, but you have thought a lot. In that case, I have an idea. ]

Gan Yuelong meant to let Shen Yuelan publish a surrender document in the name of Ling Ji. The main purpose of the whole document was to clarify the origins of the items in this auction and to show the Wuxia Town Massacre to the world in order to undermine the political image of the Silver Federation.

[I think Miss Bei will be very happy to see this article. After all, the Silver Federation always likes to promote its own advancement and justice, and describe the Bei Empire as a backward and evil country.]

[We reverse the images of the two and tell the world that the so-called good woman had actually long since fallen into prostitution, and the despised prostitute was actually the reincarnation of the Clavicle Bodhisattva, who had been saving people with her own body.]

[I think there will be many people who are willing to watch the fun. After all, people always enjoy talking about the story of luring decent women into the water and persuading prostitutes to become good people.]

[Hey, Sister Yuelong, your tactics are much dirtier than I thought, but I like it, so I'll do it as you say.]

[Hmph, little guy, learn from me. ]

After deciding on the strategy, the next step is to find someone with good literary talent who can write articles. Shen Yuelan's first choice is naturally to look for the refugees from the former Wuxia Town and now the citizens of Quanxin City.

However, among these people, there are many who can compose poems, paint, and sing, but only a few have a sharp writing style and can write essays. Even Qing Ji and others can only write some casual articles that are not worthy of being considered essays.

[Oh, if I had known earlier, I would have brought Lü Zhiwei back earlier. After all, he edited "Lüshi Chunqiu", so there shouldn't be any problem in writing a tribute article, right? ]

[Master, this is a big problem. When we met that person, he had just started his investment plan and was still far from compiling the "Lüshi Chunqiu".]

[And the book was actually written by his followers, and had little to do with him. He was at most Party A? ]

[Well, you are right. Huanyan, do you have any suitable candidates? Can the clerk fairy Shulan help write it?]

Chapter 266 Return to the Warring States Period

[I think Shu Lan is too incompetent. You can ask her to write official documents, but if she writes one cent more, she will look aggressive, but if she writes one inch less, she will look powerless. It is really difficult to strike the right balance.]

[What should we do? How about we go to the outer world and bring one back? Chen Lin's "Cao Cao's Proclamation", Luo Binwang's "Cao Wu Zhao's Proclamation", and Song Lian's "Northern Expedition Proclamation" are all pretty good. Which one do you think is more suitable for us to bring back? ]

Shen Huanyan twitched her eyes when she heard that. What's the point of catching him? He is not a fairy. If she catches him randomly, Director Hua will scold her.

[Master, you should just give up. We don't have anyone who can write essays. How about you think about expressing this in a different artistic form? ]

[Alas, this is really the case of not having enough knowledge when you need it. We have hundreds of thousands of people, but we can't even hold back an article. If you tell others about it, they will laugh their heads off.]

[Well, hehe, that's what I said, but there's no need for us to be so self-deprecating, right? I think it's feasible to arrange the things that happened in the Silver Federation into popular songs and jokes, or even games. ]

[Does anyone here know how to do this? ]

[Yes, there are plenty. Almost everyone in Quanxin City has a musical instrument. There are quite a few who can perform crosstalk and clapper talk. Some elites can even play games with their hands! They are all talented.]

[Their previous identities as prostitutes really buried their talents. The more I understand them now, the more I feel that Maixia Town is a place of sin. How can they only care about the taste of a person's body and not value a person's knowledge and character? ]

Huanyan feels unfair for what the residents of Quanxin City have suffered, but Shen Yuelan is used to it. She believes that where there is light there must be darkness, and this is the most normal thing.

The only thing she needed to consider was to prevent herself and her loved ones from falling into that kind of situation. As for the poor people she might meet in the future, whether to save them or not depended on whether she had the ability and mood to do so.

[Humph, in such a dirty place, don't think about whether it is logical or not. In order to cater to the needs of clients who want to play with prestigious university students, it is not uncommon to send prostitutes to the top universities. ]

[When you fall into that situation, everything you once were is just a label, a label that can double your worth, a label that can help clients quickly identify you.]

[That's true. It's really sad to be in that situation. I would rather commit suicide than live in such a quagmire.]

[Ah, who said it wasn't? I've strayed off topic. Any of the topics you mentioned will do. I'll leave it to you. I still have some random gossip materials here that you can use. I look forward to your work! ]

【Guaranteed mission completion! 】

Although Shen Huanyan had given a promise, it would still take time to create a truly popular work of art. Let's put this matter aside for now. I had just completed half of the Warring States mission when I suddenly received news.

The person who brought the message was Su Xin. What she meant was that they had lived in the Warring States Period for more than 30 years, the war for Qin to conquer the six states was about to begin, and the Warring States Period was about to come to an end. If Shen Yuelan and others did not return, they would probably have to start all over again.

When Shen Yuelan saw the message, she immediately broke out in a cold sweat. It was all over, all over. If she couldn't complete the task, she would be given an unsatisfactory evaluation at the end of the year.

Although she was the evaluator, it was quite shameful to cheat in front of hundreds of subordinates.

Shen Yuelan hoped to avoid such an outcome as much as possible. Therefore, after saying goodbye to Huanyan, she immediately returned to the surface world of the Warring States Period. This time, the little girl named Tong Zimu was finally reliable.

She helped Shen Yuelan successfully arrive in 230 BC, which was also the year when the curtain of Qin's conquest of the six kingdoms slowly opened. Qin's conquest of Han took place in these two years.

At that time, the Suyi sisters, as well as Lu Zhiwei and Ying Mengze were gathered near Handan City, using their medical skills, which could almost be described as poor, to provide relief to the local victims caused by the great earthquake and famine.

According to records, in 231 BC, a magnitude 6.5 earthquake occurred in Dai, Zhao State, and a large ditch appeared in the ground, which was steps wide from east to west.

From Lexu in the west to Pingyin in the north, most of the houses and walls collapsed, tens of thousands of civilians were killed or injured, and hundreds of thousands of victims were displaced. The Zhao court was unable to provide disaster relief, and people were filled with resentment and cries of grief were everywhere.

In 230 BC, a large-scale drought broke out in the State of Zhao. The land was barren and there was famine throughout the country, which directly led to a shortage of food for the Zhao army.

Several major disasters made the Zhao State, which had been in decline since the Battle of Changping, even worse. This was also the main reason why the Qin State chose to destroy the Zhao State first after destroying the Han State.

[What's the point of saving so many people here? Without enough food, they will starve to death sooner or later. You can't change anything.]

[That being said, are we just going to watch them die? ]

[Sir, you haven't been here for these years, so you can just sit back and do nothing. But we have been stationed here for more than 30 years. Some of them even grew up under our watch. We...we really can't just sit back and do nothing.]

Shen Yuelan rubbed her temples with a headache. She looked up and glared at the Su Yi sisters who were pretending to be indifferent, and had to explain:

[Just rescuing you two from the other world has cost me a huge favor. There are so many disaster victims, how can you save them all? It will only make them suffer for a few more years.]

[It is better to be a dog in peacetime than a man in troubled times. In this world of great strife, ordinary people suffer the most. It is a blessing to leave early.]

[Besides, it’s only a few years away from the end of the mission. Don’t get involved with them any more. Otherwise, even I can’t save you. Remember that?]

【promise.】

After subduing the two guys with overflowing sanctimony, Shen Yuelan finally had time to re-observe this familiar yet unfamiliar land. Thirty years passed in the blink of an eye in Shen Yuelan's eyes, but to the people here, it was a real thirty years.

During these thirty years, King Zhaoxiang of Qin and his descendants died one after another in just four years. The Queen of Yan and Qi had also changed a lot. Famous ministers and generals such as Fan Sui, Han Fei, Xun Kuang, Lian Po, and Bai Qi were no longer seen.

The people Shen Yuelan was familiar with have all passed away and have long since finished their eventful lives. The current era belongs to the new bloodline. Qin Shi Huang has already become the ruler of the world, and Wang Jian, Li Si and others have also successively stepped onto their own stages.

Has the new era begun? Shen Yuelan sighed and wanted to take the four people to Yan State. She wanted to complete the mission as soon as possible and then return to the inner world.

But sometimes, the more anxious you are, the harder it is to achieve your goal. Shen Yuelan's attempt to take the four people away was blocked by the people of Handan. Although the four people's medical skills were not very good, it was at least some consolation.

If they all left, the people of Handan would really be in despair.

Chapter 267: Enlightenment from the Journey to the West

Looking at the people of Zhao who were gradually gathering together, Shen Yuelan suddenly felt a little angry. Since these bastards had heard her words that she was going to take them away, they had naturally also heard what would happen to them if they got involved with them.

But they still chose to stop them. They even planned to slowly kill their benefactor for their own benefit. Although Shen Yuelan could understand it, it was difficult for her to accept it emotionally.

Lu Zhiwei and Ying Mengze obviously didn't expect that they would be treated like this. Their eyes were red for a moment and they were crying out of anger, but the victims didn't care about that.

They were only sure of one thing, that is, if they left Su Yi and the others, they would surely die. Taking them away would mean taking their lives, and the people who wanted to kill them were the enemy.

A group of victims rushed towards Shen Yuelan without any explanation, trying to brutally kill this cruel woman. Shen Yuelan's eyes were cold, and she called out her guards without hesitation.

Although the Song Imperial Army was small in number, it was still easy for them to deal with these guys who had been out of food for months. The victims' charge was quickly dispersed by the Imperial Army's armored formation. The roles between them and Shen Yuelan instantly switched, from hunters to prey.

The victims who were at the front quickly realized this. Their originally ferocious faces were gradually replaced by expressions of fear, and they gradually retreated under the pressure of the imperial guards.

The victims in the rear were unaware of the situation in the front and were still rushing in from all directions. Under attack from both sides, before Shen Yuelan's army could take further action, riots began to break out within the victims' group and they gradually collapsed.

Looking at the clown-like victims in front of him, Shen Yuelan sighed deeply. It was really ridiculous that his own people had fallen into such a plight, but not a single official from the Zhao royal court had come to provide disaster relief.

It seems that the current Zhao State is no longer the powerful Zhao State that dared to compete with the powerful Qin State thirty years ago. Although Shen Yuelan hated the current trend of the Zhao people, she did not let the imperial guards continue to take action. She did not want to leave a record of massacring civilians in the Time Administration Bureau.

Taking advantage of the remaining momentum, Shen Yuelan led everyone to quickly leave the gathering place of the disaster victims and found a secluded place to the east to rest. She planned to ask these guys what they had done over the years.

[Okay, let's take a break here. You can also talk to me about what you have done in these years. Why haven't you made any progress at all? Especially you two guys, Su Yi and Su Xin. I asked you to take care of them, but you left me alone.]

[Well, that's not the way to say it, Master. We are both very serious and responsible. We supervised them to complete the tasks you assigned to them before.]

[Yes, yes, we have taught them everything we should have, but no matter how well we teach them, there will always be a day when they graduate. After they graduate, we two sisters will no longer be able to control them.]

The Suyi sisters tried hard to prove that they were not lazy, but Shen Yuelan still heard some guilty conscience in their voices. She decided to dig deeper into what these two guys did after completing the task.

[Really? What did you two do after completing the tasks I assigned to you? Tell me quickly, so that I, a person who is behind the times, can broaden my horizons.]

[Let me start by saying, Master, after completing the mission, Su Xin left China and went to a place called Tianzhu for a stroll. During the time I was there, Tianzhu actually had a dynasty that almost unified the entire country, the Maurya Dynasty.]

[The ruler of that dynasty was a man called Ashoka, the third king. He used military force to expand the empire into a huge empire that, except for the southern tip of the Indian peninsula, stretched from the southern foothills of the Himalayas in the north to Mysore in the south, from the western border of Assam in the east to the Hindu Kush Mountains in the west, almost covering the entire Indian subcontinent.]

[If this guy hadn't been kicked in the head by a mule in his later years, and had insisted on playing with religion and saying he wouldn't fight no matter what, he might have become the Indian version of Qin Shi Huang. ]

[The most ridiculous thing is that he established such a powerful empire, but he did not allow anyone to record the history of his country in any form. Instead, foreigners who visited his country would record some of their local customs and practices.]

[When I first went there, I felt that this was a short-sighted country. I was afraid that it would fall apart soon. Sure enough, a few years ago, Ashoka died, and his empire quickly broke into several pieces.]

[Although the Maurya Dynasty still exists, it is only in name only, barely surviving in a remote place. Now it seems that China is more interesting. ]

[I see, you actually went to India. Every civilization has its own shining moments. The Maurya Empire is one of the few shining moments of the Aryans there.]

[Aryans? Were the people of India originally called Aryans? ]

[Humph, the native inhabitants of India are certainly not Aryans, they are just a group of hateful invaders. The truly splendid ancient Indian civilization has long been destroyed by them. They are just a group of parasites who rely on the caste system to improve their status. ]

[Hey! Fortunately, Huaxia didn't encounter them, otherwise, wouldn't Huaxia be exterminated? ]

[How could we not have met? Their invasion of China was carried out simultaneously with that of India. At that time, China was called the Great Shang Dynasty. The king at that time was called Wu Ding, and his general was called Fu Hao.]

[The only difference between China and India is that they lost and we won, and in this world the winner is king. The Aryans who came to China died out long ago.]

[Su Xin went to Tianzhu, Su Yi, you probably won't be idle either, right? Tell me, where did you go? ]

[Hehe, A-Lan really understands me. The places I have been to are much farther than India. In fact, Su-Xin and I went to India together. But I heard that there is a powerful empire in the farther west that conquered India not long ago.]

[This aroused my desire to explore. After discussing with Su Xin, we parted ways. She stayed in Tianzhu, and I continued to travel west. I had been looking forward to this trip, hoping to see a strong country there, but the reality made me return disappointed.]

[The great empire that once conquered India quickly fell apart after its monarch, Alexander the Great, died of illness. It did not even exist as long as the soon-to-be-born Qin Empire.]

[However, that land is not without hope. I saw the spark of civilization in a country called Rome on the northern shore of the Mediterranean. They tried to follow in Alexander's footsteps and once again build a great empire that spanned the east and the west.]

[I was still on the west coast of the Mediterranean Sea, and I saw a few locals secretly studying how to rebuild their country. I listened for a while and learned that the country was called Persia.]

Chapter 268 Overseas Civilization

[Rome? Oh, if Rome survives, the whole world will be its enemy. If Rome is destroyed, the whole world will be filled with filial sons and grandsons.]

[Hahaha, there seems to be such a saying, but I heard that Rome and Greece, which gave birth to the Alexander Empire, are the source of Western civilization? ]

[Well, strictly speaking, the two have nothing to do with each other. To the Romans, these modern golden-haired people are the descendants of a bunch of barbarians. After the fall of the Western Roman Empire, it was they who started the Dark Ages of the Middle Ages, which was a regression of civilization.]

[As for the Persian Empire, I remember that it was established three times. The first Persian Empire was called the Achaemenid Dynasty. It was in a unified period with the Greek city-states. The famous Greco-Persian Wars and the Battle of Thermopylae both took place during this period.

It was destroyed by Alexander's Empire in 330 BC, and its successor, the Second Persian Empire known as the Sassanid Empire, was officially established six years later in 224 BC.

The Sassanid Empire was the peak period of ancient Persian culture. It was the last great Persian empire before Islamic civilization completed its conquest of the Persian region. It was on par with Rome in the West for more than 400 years.

The biggest impression that China has of Sassanid Persia may come from Zoroastrianism (Zoroastrianism). This sect is called the Ming Cult in Jin Yong's martial arts novel "The Heaven Sword and Dragon Saber". The so-called Holy Fire Order is the embodiment of its doctrine.

The Sassanid Empire was defeated by the Caliphate (Arab Empire) in the decisive Battle of Qadisiya in 642 AD and was completely destroyed in 651 AD. It is said that the Persian prince Peroz fled east to the Tang Dynasty at that time.

He once sought help from Emperor Gaozong of Tang, but ultimately failed to achieve his wish. In 677, he died in Chang'an City. From then on, Persian civilization was declared extinct, and was replaced by the religious culture originating from the Arabian Peninsula.

As for the Safavid Dynasty established in 1501 AD, although it was also established by Persians and was called the Third Persian Empire, in my opinion, its civilizational core has long been fundamentally different from the previous two.

Safavid Persia is the Persia of Arab civilization, not the Persia of Persian civilization. Of course, the Persians will definitely not admit this statement. I am just complaining to you. 】

When Shen Yuelan was talking about the history of Persia, these guys obviously focused a lot more. It seemed that they were bored of staying in China and wanted to change their taste.

[What about you two? I'm afraid you weren't very obedient either. Tell me, where did you go to play? ]

[Hehe, Lord, let me make it clear first. Sister Su Yi and the others like to go west, but I am not like that. I like to go east, so after completing the task, I will go east.]

[I wanted to know where the easternmost border of China was, so I headed eastward along the coastline of the continent. To be more precise, I headed northeastward most of the time.]
